Cycle & Sail with Local Motion
The two must-do things in Burlington: Sail on Lake Champlain and bike along the Island Line Trail! This is a discounted price for a three hour bike rental and a two hour daytime sailing cruise. Sailing cruises are BYO food and drink! Our recommendation is to bike the trail first and then relax on a scenic sail with some local brews and sandwiches!
Price: $80.00 Includes a two hour daytime cruise and a 3 hour bike rental (helmet and lock included)

Champlain Discovery with ECHO
The Champlain Discovery Bundle combines two of Burlington’s best experiences for families: a visit to ECHO, Leahy Center for Lake Champlain and a 2-hour daytime sailing cruise aboard a classic Whistling Man schooner. Explore hands-on science exhibits, live species of fish, reptiles, and amphibians native to Lake Champlain, and interactive displays at ECHO, then set sail for a breezy adventure on the water. Tickets are sold per person.
Price: $65 Includes a two hour daytime sailing cruise and admission to the ECHO center.

Bourbon & Breeze with Mad River Distillers
The Bourbon and Breeze Bundle pairs a 2-hour daytime sail aboard a classic sloop with a $25 voucher to Mad River Distillers’ Church Street tasting room. Spend your afternoon enjoying lake views and fresh air, then head downtown for handcrafted cocktails or bottles to take home. This per-person bundle offers big savings and a perfectly Vermont-style day out.
Price: $70 Includes a two hour daytime cruise and a $25 gift card to the Mad River Distillers Tasting Room in Downtown Burlington.
